Boston Walk for Choice FINAL DETAILS

So the routes have been posted on this site

I am planning to meet up at the Boston Common between 2-3pm. I have to be on the floor at the cafe until noon, which always stretches to 1:00pm somehow. If I meet up with a group along the way than so be it.

Here are the participant guidelines:
—This isn’t a parade, so keep to the sidewalks, don’t jaywalk or block any kind of traffic, and avoid signs that require more than one carrier.

—We’re all excited for Saturday, but let’s hold off on popping the celebratory bottles of champagne and other adult beverages until after it’s all said and done. Remember, St Patrick’s Day isn’t until next month.

—Planned Parenthood has agreed to mobilize and support us, as have student groups throughout the city. We’re grateful for those endorsements, and we’d like everyone to keep in mind that PP will be affected by any attention we receive, good or bad. We ask you to keep this in mind as you make signs and posters or if you’re approached by the press on Saturday.

—Please, please, please don’t engage with any members of the opposition if at all possible. If someone does approach you or harass you, please keep walking and move on, or if necessary find the BPD.

—Please respect the City of Boston. We’ve spoken to the BPD and they’re aware of the Walk, so please defer to them. We’ve also had a great experience working with the Parks and Recreation department so far, so let’s keep the Common clean and peaceful.

PUNK FUCKING ROCK
